Squid (suddenly) does not resolv local hostnames

[Laurent Martelli <martelli@iie.cnam.fr>]

I'm having a strange problem with squid. It suddenly does not resolv
local hostnames which are not in /etc/hosts.

For instance, if I try to browse www with "lynx http://www/";, it says:

The requested URL could not be retrieved

-----------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www/

The following error was encountered:

    Unable to determine IP address from host name for www

The dnsserver returned:

    DNS Domain 'www' is invalid: Host not found (authoritative).

This means that:
 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
 Check if the address is correct.

But nslookup works fine :

        lolo:# nslookup www
        Server:  localhost
        Address:  127.0.0.1

        Name:    lolo.martelli.fremiet
        Address:  192.168.1.1
        Aliases:  www.martelli.fremiet

And it works it I do try to access www.martelli.fremiet.

I have no dns_nameserver specified in /etc/squid.conf

I have kernel 2.2.12.



Any idea of what's going on?
